TxDOT urges drivers to be aware of motorcycle riders The Texas Department of Transporta- tion’s annual safety campaign “Look Twice for Motorcycles” aims to protect motorcyclists by educating drivers on how to safely share the road, TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said. “People on motorcycles are more vul- nerable on our roadways,” Williams said. “It’s important for drivers to pay extra attention and look out for motorcycles— especially at intersections.” “Several of these streets have had new water or sewer lines installed, and the streets are in need of resurfacing after all of that utility work. I know the residents will be very happy to see the project fully completed.” Contractors usually take a minimum of six weeks to begin work following a bid award, Stevens said, meaning Phase 1 of the project could begin as early as mid-July. The street improvement project is funded through the 2021 bond issue. For streets, trac signalization and drainage projects, approximately $9 million has been allotted. The projects in phases 1 and 2 account for $3.6 million of the $9 million.

Nine Highland Village residential roads are about to get a facelift. Council approved a bid for road construction at the May 23 meeting, ocially kicking o Phase 1 of the city’s 2023 Street Improvement Project. The roads set for upgrades are Lamesa Drive, Turpin Drive, Camden Drive, Glenmere Drive, Moran Drive, Raney Drive, Catlin Circle, Catlin Terrace and Lakeland Drive. Phase 2 of the project will begin at a later date, Highland Village City Manager Paul Stevens said. “We are very excited about begin- ning this program,” Stevens said.

Step 2:

North Texas summers can be mighty hot, and are getting longer, and drier, too. But your yard can flourish with far less water than you think. Remember, every drop you save at home helps replenish our rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, which keeps fresh water flowing from everyone’s taps. There are many steps you can take to reduce water use, save a little on your bill, and still enjoy a beautiful yard. For more easy water-saving tips, visit www.WaterLessYall.com .
